Super Fight x2: Mayweather versus Pacquiao

1.) In Feb 2013, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced his six-fight deal with Showtime/CBS in which he was guaranteed $200 million.

2.) One of the terms of that deal involved the potential to make over his $200 million base depending on such factors as pay-per-view totals, promotion efforts, Mayweather's continuing undefeated status, and "the quality and marketability of his opponents."
3.) The first four fights in this deal had total pay-per-view bout buys as follows:

a) fight one - 1,000,000 (versus Robert Guerrero)

b) fight two - 2,200,000 (versus Saul Alvarez)

c) fight three - 900,000 (versus Marcos Maidana)

d) fight four - 925,000 (versus Marcos Maidana II)

4.) Weeks ago, with only two fights left in his Showtime six-fight deal, Mayweather announced that he would like his next two fights to be against rival Manny Pacquiao, and called him out.

About Me

"I see the world as a multi-layered, encrypted message—encrypted for countless reasons, by numerous sources. I believe our job as actively-engaged humans is to decode these messages for our own use and to document them for the greater body of human literature at the means each individual has at hand. As an artist—specifically, a cartoonist—that is the means/medium I use for my own decoding duties. Through my research, I use logic, reason and intellect to intuitively follow the knowledge thread that intrigues me, connecting the dots from pattern recognition, and producing the cartoons that form my socio-political analysis."
